PAKISTAN: Fatima Bhutto on her memoir, 'Songs of Blood and Sword'

We recently interviewed Fatima Bhutto about her new memoir, “Songs of Blood and Sword.”

In the book, Bhutto traces her late father’s life and the history of her political family in Pakistan.

In two podcasts, we talked with her about the book, her research, her late aunt Benazir -- the first female prime minister of Pakistan -- Muslim women in politics, and the massive flooding that Pakistan faces now.
